Rivercrest Home for Sale

Rivercrest, a neighborhood in north Arlington, has large homes near parks along the Potomac River. The area is primarily residential, with sizeable lawns and tree-lined streets. Housing options range from bi-levels to contemporary-style custom estates. Rivercrest may mainly consist of single-family homes, but there are still plenty of things to do. Nearby, Glebe Road Park has sports facilities and the Gulf Branch Nature Center, which hosts educational programs and wildlife displays. The Gulf Branch Trail features riverfront views, while Fort Ethan Allen Park showcases preserved Civil War earthworks. It’s a short drive to commercial amenities, like Westover Market Beer Garden, a small grocery store that serves made-to-order hot food and hosts live music on its outdoor patio. National grocery stores are also close, and so are restaurants, like Ambar Clarendon, with small plate Balkan dishes. Students attend highly-rated Arlington Public Schools, including Jamestown Elementary, Williamsburg Middle and Yorktown High. The George Washington Memorial Parkway is beside the neighborhood and leads into Washington, D.C. in 6 miles, and Arlington Transit buses facilitate travel throughout the area.
